Not sure why at the start of every presser we say that we won't be answering questions on matters that concern other clubs, other players, other managers etc. Mind you if we did that the vermin press will have nothing to askFirst question from the prick stone was about utd.

From the BBC:
Solskjaer's derby record
Man City v Man Utd (Sat, 17:30 GMT)
Ole Gunnar Solskjer aimed a little dig at Manchester City earlier when he said ‘at least we play every year now’ but maybe he has forgotten his own (less than impressive) derby record, even back in the dim and distant days when United were the top dogs in Manchester.
After joining United in 1996, the Norwegian had to wait until 2000 for the two clubs to meet, but he has never played a part in a winning side in a derby as a player or manager.
He was not given the chance to face them much either - in their 13 meetings between 2000 and 2007, he was either not picked in the United squad (seven times) or left on the bench (twice).
When he did feature, things did not go well for him.
In the only four derby games he played in, United drew two and lost two, including a 3-1 defeat in the final derby at Maine Road in November 2002 and a 4-1 loss in their first meeting at the Etihad Stadium in March 2004.
As United’s manager, he has faced City once - at Old Trafford in April. City won that one too.
Sometimes the Beeb can be snidey at others as well, it seems.

Ha, hadn't clocked that. The Red menace will be storming Salford Quays demanding his public execution by now.

Has to be completely made up. everyone on here will tell you the BBC have it in for City and only City, they’re out to get us for some unknown reason and will plow every resource they have into taking us down. It couldn’t possibly be that some people are as touchy as Adam Johnson in an orphanage when it comes to any news on City not being anything but 100% glowing
Think we have to give Utd a chance in this.
I remember seeing City sides in previous decades beating Utd and that's when we had a bottom half side. Utd are 6th. They aren't no-hopers. They can score from a set-piece or via the 12th man.

Would love to see Gabby running them ragged and get a hat trick. He maybe offside more times than Salah falls over, but you can’t fault his work rate and enthusiasm. We need Bernardo and Razza to be running at them with the ball. No doubt the rags will be given every assistance from the officials and VAR. There will be a penalty, but it won’t be for us.
Keep Rashford quiet and we should win this.

A few weeks ago this may have been a very one sided derby however our form has wobbled of late and they looked much improved on Wednesday based on MOTD’s highlights. If we play as well as we did on Tuesday, specifically Rodri, Jesus, Bernardo and KDB, then we should win.
That said we need to be clinical, they will happily play on the counter, Rashford, James and Martial all offer pace and that’s something we have struggled with this season.
I just hope we don’t alter the formation or midfield personnel from Tuesday. We were so much better than the previous few weeks. Pep likes playing Gundogan but I think he’s better as a 6 and Rodri is the man in form. Bernardo looked back on form and Silva was excellent though the fact he played 90 mins may mean Pep is planning to rest him tomorrow.
We could do with more from Sterling as although he scored against Newcastle he hasn’t really played well since Anfield. It would be nice to see him get a derby goal.
